What to try at IGOURMET

In exploring the vegetable and fruit page on igourmet I came across black truffle paste.  Although it is not the same as fresh black truffle, it is a nice way to add an exotic taste to the finest dishes that you prepare.

Igourmet offers several different clubs that allow you to enroll in a membership program and receive a montly package from igourmet with a sampling of their delicious foods.  My favorite of the month club is the Connoisseur of the Month Club.  In this club igourmet sends you food that takes you on a journey around the world so each month you explore the flavors from a different country or region in the world.  Their other clubs include cheese, coffee, tea, salsa and others.

Please forgive me for only giving you a brief glimpse of all the glory of this great online service, and allow me to take months to explore all the delicious foods that igourmet has to offer.

Beer of the Month Club

Beer of the Month Club

Micro breweries have sprung up around the country in the last two decades at a surprising rate.   Twenty years ago beer of the month club offerings were limited to several hundred breweries and now they can choose from thousands of unique recipes offered by these breweries.  With the expansion of brewers making their beers and offering them for sale it is important that you don’t join a membership with a beer of the month club that does not do adequate tasting and sampling before they send you your monthly treasure.

Who Should Join Beer of the Month Club

If you are the kind of person who picks up a case of beer every night after work and polish it off before you leave for work in the morning you need to seek help for your addiction the beer of the month club is not for you and you would not enjoy it.  If you have ever had someone encourage you to try their favorite beer and you tried it and hated it because you always drink Miller Lite then a beer of the month club is not for you.  BOMC is for those people who find something to celebrate in every new beer they try even if they wouldn’t drink a particular label again.  It is not for anyone who loves PBR or goes to fifty cent Schlitz in a can night because it is cheap.   The beer of the month club is to celebrate this ancient rite of enjoying a delicious beverage with its unique flavorings.  It is the sense of variety of the kind and amount of hops and the variety of sweetness and ale.
